To celebrate the lunar new year for 2020 (the year of the mouse/rat) I have decided to design this cute little mouse names Maurice (because he is actually French!). Maurice loves cheese and playing at the park, and you can follow his adventures on my Instagram stories as we explore different places this year.

This pattern includes written information as well as some pictures to help you with the assembly of the plush.

It has been designed for beginner+ crocheter with previous knowledge of amigurumi construction.

Materials needed:
• DK or 8ply yarn in main colour (MC) and contrasting colour (CC)
• 3.75 (F) crochet hook
• Stitch marker, tapestry needle and scissors
• Polyfill
Optional: 2x 7.5mm safety eyes (not meant for children under 3 y.o.)
